AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Ribcor Trigger 9 Pro is 55g lighter with a faster release for pure sniping, but costs two and a half times more than the Blackout. The Blackout saves you serious cash and comes in a 50 flex for slower swing speeds, though it's noticeably heavier and has minimal blade options.
